Favorite verse: "It would definitely have to be Philippians 4:13, you know 'I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me' and I know a lot of people say that and a lot of people believe in it as well but I think it is just such a perfect thing to just think about like you do all things through him and he will give you the strength to get through everything that you are doing in your life."
On transition to Farmington: "It feels just like home. It is my home. I thought I knew when I moved from Texas that I would still call Texas my home but I would rather, much rather, call Farmington, Arkansas my home than anywhere else. I love this place and it has definitely grown on me a lot."
Benefits Of Athletic Competiton: " I think that sports are very important. I think it teaches you a lot of things like leadership or being part of the team or being together learning to mingle with people you usually don't mingle with. I think it's a great plan, it's going to help me in the future as I go off into getting a job and I have to work with other people I think it's going to help a lot."
Notable: Hit grand-slam home run at Gentry during senior season. Father, Jon Purifoy, is Farmington High School Principal.
